To this day, Stephen Hawking has not retracted his false assertion to the world.
Not only that.
In 2012, on the occasion of his 70th birthday, he in effect re-issued this position.
It has got so that those who want to do right by science cannot because of hombres like Stephen Hawking.
Perhaps it is significant that in the same breath he reissued his bombast, he also said he thinks mostly of women all day long.
No joke!
